Jared was on his way to buy some groceries that morning when his phone suddenly rang. He stopped his car on the side of the street to answer the call. He was a good driver but he never tolerated himself answering calls while driving. Something he had learned form his father.
"Hello?" Jared answered. The person on the other line answered and it was something that Jared had been wanting to hear for days.
"I'm on my way." Jared ended the call and immediately turned on his engine and drove off.
●
"Where is he?" Jared asked the police who had given him a call. He anxiously drove his way to the police station so that he could finally see the one person he had been dreading for days.
"Come with me, sir." The police man said and walked their way to a small room where a man in hand cuffs was sitting in front of them.
Ryan.
He looked even more waisted. His eyes bloodshot and dark circles surrounded it. His face had some cuts and bruises and that just gave Jared another good reason to beat the shit out of him.
"My dear cousin." Ryan mouthed with a grin plastered on his face.
"Were not cousins. I swear, if you don't get that grin off your face..."
"What? You gonna beat my ass—"
Before Ryan could finish, Jared's fist landed on his face in one swift motion and Ryan landed on the floor off guard. Blood rushed down his nose but it wasn't enough for Jared. He punched him repeatedly as Ryan tried to block his face with his arms but it was useless. Jared's punches were too strong. The policemen tried to get Jared off of Ryan and when they did, Jared was out of breath and Ryan struggled to stand up.
"Fuck you! My sister's life is ruined because of you!" Jared shouted. He wanted to punch Ryan again but the police stopped him.
Ryan managed to stand up then wiped his blooded mouth with his hand. "You're lucky I have these cuffs around my hand, otherwise I might have broken your face off."
Jared couldn't remember the last time he was this angry. He was never the type of person that constantly gets angry for no reason, but when he does, you're sure to see a different person in him.
"Alright, you're going to jail." The police said and dragged Ryan out of the room.
Statutory Rape was filed against Ryan and charges were dropped. He was given 25 years of imprisonment which was a relief for Jared. At least he didn't have to worry now that Ryan's in jail.
After doing the groceries, Jared finally went home. Hailey had just finished her session with the psychiatrist and she was resting on their living room when Jared arrived. Hailey instantly stood up to help Jared with the bags and proceeded to the kitchen.
"Are you okay?" Jared questioned as he put the grocery bags down on the counter.
Hailey smiled. The psychiatrist adviced her to smile once in a while to make her feel better and to at least talk to someone. It kinda helped though. "I'm okay."
"I have good news for you." Jared looked at his sister and she looked better now. She tried to recover each day and that was something she would always admire about her. Always so strong and positive.
"Ryan's in jail now. And we'll never have to worry about him because he was sentenced 25 years of imprisonment."
Kylie felt so relieved. She was beyond glad that what happened to her was given justice. She felt like most of her pain and fear had been washed out from Jared's good news. Indeed, what happened to her was something she couldn't change no matter how much she wanted to, it was her shame now too but she had to move on or at least try to each day. She needs to be strong now. Tears began to fal from her eyes and she embraced her big brother.
As days went by, Hailey did her best to move on and recover. She finally started to come out of her room and interact with other people. Lauren, Calvin and other staff of Thompson's visited a couple of times sending all their love for Hailey which she appreciates very much.
And that evening, when Jared had finally finished all his paper works, Hailey decided to ask him something. It had been in her mind for a couple of days now and she was so sure about it.
"So, what is it that you wanna ask?" Jared finally asked.
Hailey was a bit hesitant but, "Jar, I want to return to Thompson's. I wanna work again."
